THE PROFESSOR AND THE HAUNTED MUSEUM (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Professor Wilson is trying to bring awareness back into the Town’s museum by holding a costume themed fundraiser. Over the years there has been a dwindling patronage and there have also been rumours that the town’s realtor, Mrs Vera Finkelstein plans to buy the museum with her recent acquisition of large funds. Her plan is to turn it into a hotel resort to put the town back on the map. This idea appeals to the town’s council who are in favour of the development plans.After a rather strange and disturbing dream, the professor starts to experience a sequence of ghostly events that occur in and around the museum. An arranged ‘ghostly’ visitation punctuates a gathering which ends up being the front page news story the following day. This creates mayhem for the professor and intrigue to the residents of this once quiet sleepy town. All the while the professor is unaware that there are perpetrators in the midst trying to steal valuable paintings from the museum, which were many years ago, unintentionally hidden away by a previous curator of the museum. The unwelcomed publicity causes an outraged Vera Finkelstein to rethink her involvement and to come up with an alternative to her cause. The professor, together with the help of his friends, which also includes a mother and her two children, begins to unravel the mysterious episodes that he encounters to the lead up of the fundraiser event.Unexplained fog, hidden tunnels, séances, an encounter with an old lady whose mansion is said to be haunted and other sequences of unexplained events result in a finale of a ghostly invasion to help the professor and his clan save the hidden and unbeknownst treasures from being stolen by the thieves.
